either sophomore Royce Huffman
or Guy Bob Buschman will punt.
BAYLOR
The Baylor University Bears
under Coach Bill Beall, who be
gins his second season at the helm
of the Bears, can go nowhere but
up this season. That is unless they
go winless on their 11-game
schedule. The Bears were winless
last year and their biggest prob
lems this go round seems to be
depth and speed.
The Bears’ strong suit is de
fense, where they return six start
ers. That list includes end Dennis
Watson and tackles Glen Chme-
lar and Gary Sutton. Linebackers
David Jones and Tommy Barn-
brick head the Bears corps of
linebackers and Trent Phipps, Don
Aylor and Mike Wilder, up from
the freshman squad, add defen
sive depth.
The Bears’ big plus last season
was punting, with Ed Marsh lead
ing the nation with a 45.6 aver
age. Marsh could see action else
where this fall for the Bears.
Senior Laney Cook is due to
be the number one quarterback
for the Bears, although Si South-
all is expected to pressure him
after recovering from a knee
surgery.
Baylor’s offensive line returns
only one starter, guard Gilbert
Beall, but the Bears have some
beefy prospects in Joe Allbright
(231), Ron Evans (239), and Jess
Young (250).
Randy Cooper is the only sea
soned running back the Bears
have returning. Cooper led the
BU rushers with 364 yards last
year. Derek Davis, a flanker last
year, has been moved to tailback,
but the Bears are hoping one of
their sophomores can come
through so they can move Davis
back to his old position.
Matthew Williams and Bill
Cornelius are listed as top sopho
more runners.
1970 should be a better year
for the Bears as Coach Bill Beall
looks for his first win.
ARKANSAS
In 1969 had the University of
Texas at Austin Longhorns not
come up with a last half rally to
defeat the Razorbacks and win
the Southwest Conference Cham
pionship, the University of Ar
kansas would have been number
one.
They were that close.
The Razorbacks return 30 let-
terman from that group and, judg
ing from the quality of upper
classman they have back, you
might look for the same in 1970.
Thirteen of those returnees
have earned two numerals and
the Hogs return six offensive and
seven defensive starters.
Quarterback Bill Montgomery
and his favorite target, split end
Chuck Dicus, are back, and also
his other two top receivers, flank
er John Rees and tight end Pat
Morrison.
Dicus, from Garland, already
holds UA receiving records in
three categories, with still a full
season to ad to them. Montgom
ery holds two Arkansas passing
records and is rated by many as
an All-American candidate.
Bill Burnett, the Hogs able tail
back, also appears in the Arkan
sas record book and anything he
does this year will simply add to
it.
Burnett, Dicus and defensive
tackle Rick Kersey are All-Con
ference returnees for the Razor-
backs, who lost four All-Confer
ence performers to graduation,
including Rodney Brand, a center
who made several All-America
teams.

The Arkansas defense is filled
with top returnees and they have
three veteran linebackers to prove
it. Only one, however, was a
starter, senior Mike Boschetti.
But the other two, Guy Parker
and Ronnie Jones, both have
much experience.
This year finds the Razorbacks
highly rated again, but as last
year, they are having to take a
back seat to the people in Aus
tin. Barring a foul-up along the
way, the Hogs will be out to turn
the tables when they meet the
Longhorns the first week in De
cember.
And they just might do it.

Livingston and others and now
there’s Chuck Hixson.
In two years at SMU, Hixson
has completed more passes for
more yards than anybody in col
lege history.
But even with their outstand
ing passing game, the Mustangs
could win only three games last
season.
They are now in the process
of building a running game, with
outstanding junior Gordon Gil
der and Gary Hammond the
mainstays. Hammond played last
year as wide receiver, but the
Mustangs have bigger plans for
this elusive runner.
When the name of the South
ern Methodist University Mus
tangs is mentioned, the first
thing you think about is pass.
There was Don Meredith, Mike
Top receiver Ken Fleming and
Bull Jackson return to give Hix
son a couple of veterans.
Randy Dossett is currently the
number one flanker and Ray
mond Mapps the starting split
end.
The Mustangs feel they have
a sophomore prize in right guard
John Meyer, 6-3 and 250. Meyer
is listed as the starting right
guard and is destined for great
things from the viewpoint of his
coach, Hayden Fry.
When Chuck Hixso n was a
sophomore the Mustangs built a
running game around fullback
Mike Richardson, now with the
Houston Oilers, and used Hix
son’s passes to Jerry Levias to
stir them to a Bluebonnet Bowl
berth and an eventual win over
the University of Oklahoma.
In 1970 Hixson won’t have a
Jerry Levias or a Mike Richard
son on hand, unless they find a
surprise package around.
And if they do, watch out.
running back.
At that position, Vincent was
impressive in spring practice.
Junior Philip Wood moved to the
number one quarterback spot.
The Owls offensive line is sea
soned, but they too had some
shuffle changes. That line has
a lot of beef, as the interior, ex
cluding the split end, averages
230 pounds.
The Owl defense is a strong
point and the anchor man is All-
American defensive end candi
date Roger Rotisch. The Owls
return a seasoned veteran at ev
ery position in the defense.
Bucky Allshouse, the Owls’
rover man, is a top punter and
his 38.3 yard average on 83 punts
last year is a good reason why.
Mark Williams is expected to
step in for the Owls as a place-
kicker, where Tim Davis per
formed admirably the past two
years. Davis booted successfully
on 41 of 43 PAT’s during his jun
ior and senior years. Williams is
rated a better kicker from the
field goal range.
The Owls top pass receiver is
junior Bob Brown, who used his
first year as a letterman to snag
25 catches for three touchdowns.
Mike Phillips will be the tight
end and he is being hailed as one
of the best at the Houston school
in recent years.
Bo Hagan is one of a trio of
Rice coaches who have brought a
sports revival at the school. Bas
ketball mentor Don Knodel and
baseball leader Doug Osborn
have helped make the Owls
feared in the SWC.
This will be the first year of
a fully recruited Hagan team. It
just might be a winner, the Owls
first in six years.
